Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke joined representatives of the Baltimore Corporation for Housing Partnerships last week to break ground for Hamilton Green, a $1 million, 13-unit town house development near the 5700 block of Cedonia Avenue at Hamilton Avenue in Frankford. Prices for the three-bedroom homes start at about $75,000.

Patricia Massey, executive director of the housing partnership, said that Hamilton Green is one of three construction projects her organization is developing in Baltimore for moderate-income buyers who otherwise might be priced out of the market. Others are in the Brooklyn and Reservoir Hill neighborhoods.

Signet Bank of Maryland is the construction lender for the Frankford project, which is being built without city, state or federal subsidies.

Frankford "is a long-established community . . . and we are proud to contribute to its wonderful housing stock," BCHP President Michael Yerman said.

Mandrin Construction Co. of Anne Arundel County has completed a model of one of the custom homes it is building at Crosswinds at Chews Manor, a residential community on the southern tip of Kent Island.

Crosswinds, launched by developers John Flynn and Gil McManus, has 32 sites ranging from 1 acre to 2 acres. With more than half the lots sold, they selected Mandrin to build custom homes on 14 lots.

The first model is a traditional-style residence offered at $260,000. Buyers can also purchase lots starting at $69,900 and build a home to their own specifications. Duke DuBois and Joan Good of Long and Foster's Kent Island office are handling sales.
